I have posted these already to the 'gallery' section but thought it might be useful to give more detail about what I used as alternatives for my 1914 French Cavalry. These are mostly from the Franco-Prussian War range

Chasseur Machine gun wagon made from FPF21 towing a FPF20

FPF14 Cuirassiers with MG limbers made up as with the Chasseurs ones.

Dismounted Cuirassiers made from FPB02 Bavarian Infantry in skirmish order and GWF06 dismounted horse strips from the Great War range, the 'horseholder' is a standard FPF14 Cuirassier.

These guys look very uniform and fantastic!  I enjoy seeing painted minis when they are posted.

The use of the Bavarians for dismounted French cavalry is inspirational, as it will also work for dragoons.

Indeed, I am working on them next...
